3. Presentation

Where Wellington Water is up to
with Resilience

The Group Manager Network
Strategy and Planning from Wellington Water Limited (‘WWL’) explained that
the water supply of the region was vulnerable due to the long linear network
supplying bulk water to all cities. He noted that there were only three
water sources compared to Christchurch which had over 50 water sources. He
further explained that the water network was reliable (99.9% of the time) and
that the only significant problems arose as a result of major natural
events.

The Group Manager Network
Strategy and Planning, WWL advised that a request to Central Government had
been made to contribute half the $30M total cost of the resilience programme.

In response to a question from
a member, the Group Manager Network Strategy and Planning, WWL explained the
resilience programme worked closely with Wellington Region Emergency
Management Office and Civil Defence.

The Chief Executive, WWL
elaborated on the resilience programme. He explained that the Chief
Executives of the local authorities had co-ordinated a team response,
bringing all relevant parties and stakeholders together to produce a detailed
resilience and response plan. He further advised that infrastructure works
of all local authorities may need to be re-prioritised over the next two
years to ensure the resilience works were priorities. He noted that in order
to receive a favourable response from central government, a co-ordinated
local response plan would need to be finalised.

The Chief Executive from
Porirua City Council advised that priorities would be reassessed should
central government not contribute half the $30M. This scenario would result
in the whole project not being completed as rapidly as would be prudent.

The Chief Asset Officer from
Wellington City Council advised that the water modelling was based on worst
case scenarios. He further advised that immediately after an event, some
areas may have significant numbers of migrants passing through who would need
to be cared for as they made their way home.

In response to further
questions from members, the Group Manager Network Strategy and Planning, WWLassured members that his team had undertaken
discussions with all the hospitals in the region and had a full understanding
of the needs of each.

The Chief Executive, WWL,
stated there were a number of utilities and service providers within the
resilience programme, who all needed to work together in an integrated way.
The Chief Executive of Upper Hutt City Council advised that a co-ordinator of
all utilities across the region had recently been appointed.
